Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve seat for use in an internal combustion engine, and more particularly, to a composite valve seat made of two kinds of sintered alloys.
  • a spot surface 31 of a valve seat 3 always strikes a valve 4. Therefore, the spot surface 31 is subject to abrasion.
  • an inner peripheral surface 32 thereof is always exposed to high temperature exhaust gas. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface 32 is easily subject to corrosion.
  • valve seats used at the exhaust gas side special materials having good abrasion resistance, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance are required. In these days, sintered alloys are usually used.
  • valve seats as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 are made which have only a zone 2 that is made of a special second sintered alloy.
  • the remaining part of the valve seat constitutes a zone 1 which is made of a first sintered alloy 1 which is an ordinary less expensive sintered alloy.
  • the volume of the second sintered alloy contained in the valve seat of FIG. 3 is less than the volume of the second sintered alloy contained in the valve seat of FIG. 2.
  • the volume of the second sintered alloy contained in the valve seat of FIG. 2 still tends to be excessive which unduly raises production costs.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a valve seat which requires a relatively small volume of a second sintered alloy and which has good abrasion resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
  • the composite valve seat of the present invention has a valve spot surface zone made of a second sintered alloy which is a special wear resistant sintered alloy.
  • the remaining part of the valve seat comprises another zone which is made of a first sintered alloy which is an ordinary low-alloyed sintered alloy.
  • the boundary between the second sintered alloy and the first sintered alloy, with the valve spot surface oriented upward, describes a curve which is highest at an outer peripheral surface of the valve seat and which gradually falls toward an inner peripheral surface of the valve seat.
  • the shape of the boundary is similar to the powder rest curve of the first sintered alloy.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustrative cross-sectional view of a valve seat
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of conventional valve seats
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a valve seat of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows a series of working steps illustrating a method of producing the valve seat of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is another view showing the valve seat of the invention and a particular shape of an upper punch used to make the valve seat.
  • a boundary C between a first sintered alloy 1 and a second sintered alloy 2 in the cross-section of a valve seat 3 describes a curve which is, with a valve spot surface 31 oriented upward, highest at an outer peripheral surface 33 of the valve seat 3 and the boundary C falls gradually towards an inner peripheral surface 32 of the valve seat 3.
  • the shape of the boundary C is similar to the powder rest curve of the first sintered alloy.
  • the valve spot surface 31 and the inner peripheral surface 32 of the valve seat are covered by the second sintered alloy 2.
  • the boundary C between the first and second sintered alloys 1 and 2 is almost parallel to the inner peripheral surface 32.
  • This construction markedly reduces the required volume of the second sintered alloy 2.
  • the volume of the second sintered alloy is smaller than that of conventional valve seats since the boundary between the first and second alloys of the valve seat of the invention has a shape similar to the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the valve seat whereas the boundary between the first and second sintered alloys in conventional valve seats is straight with the second sintered alloy zone being defined by an axis of the valve seat and a line perpendicular to or parallel to the axis.
  • the composite valve seat of the invention can be produced by a method comprising a series of working steps as illustrated in FIG. 5. This method comprises the following seven steps:
  • 3rd Step The die 5 and the core rod 6 are lifted so that the top surface of the first powder A forms a shape nearly equal to the rest curve thereof over the step of the core rod and a lower punch 7 thereby forming a second space 52 (FIG. 5(c)).
  • a second powder B is charged into the second space 52 by means of a second feed shoe 92 (FIG. 5(d)).
  • An upper punch 8 having the shape of the valve seat spot surface is lowered to perform the powder compression molding.
  • the upper punch 8 is lowered until it reaches the upper surface of the powder B.
  • the die 5 is lowered.
  • the height of the die step 50 is equal to the height of the lower punch 7, the die 5 is stopped.
  • the upper punch 8 is lowered to perform the powder compression molding (FIG. 5(e)).
  • the object of the invention can also be formed by a method in which the die 5 is fixed as long as the relative movements of the die, lower punch and upper punch correspond to those in the method of production shown in FIG. 5. Moreover, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th steps may be performed at the same time (i.e., suction type charging).
  • the shape of the curve formed on the upper surface of the first powder A which is similar to the rest curve, can be accurately controlled.
  • the method described above permits the composite valve seat of the invention to be easily produced. Furthermore, if a projection 83 is formed on the upper punch 8, a spot surface of the valve seat as shown in FIG. 6 is readily formed which results in the second powder B covering a very large portion of the inner peripheral surface of the valve seat. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of the valve seat is more widely covered by the second sintered alloy.
  • the composite valve seat of the invention may be, if necessary, subjected to treatments such as infiltration, impregnation and sulfurization.
  • the valve seat of the invention only the zone which is required to have good abrasion resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, which is defined by the outer line of the valve seat and a boundary between the first and second sintered alloys, is made of the second sintered alloy. The amount of the second sintered alloy therefore required is markedly reduced.
